What Did You Do Yesterday? with Max Rushden & David O'Doherty · S4 EP23: David Baddiel · 6 Jun 2026 podcast

I didn't deep fry a Mars bar.

Although that's another thing.

You've actually landed on another thing, which is I can't have a meal.

Breakfast I can, but the other two meals, I have to have some dessert after I've had them.

Like every fucking meal, there's a point where I think, well, I've had a meal.

I don't need to have something sweet after as, oh, no, I'm now having something sweet.

And I will root about for anything.

I mean, sometimes my daughter has made some quite healthy vegan ice cream.

I'll have that, but I'll generally add chocolate to it.

Sometimes I'm literally rooting about in bags and boxes in my house for Haribo's from 2007.

You don't go off.

Well, they're always identifiable, surely, because they're green and red, unlike parts of a bicycle.

It is true that they're like Egyptian honey, at least certainly in terms of the fact that I will eat them.

But they do get stale and harder and chewier to eat if they're past about 15 years old.

But if you keep going, it's like the door opens, the taste door opens, and about an hour later, because they're obviously hard to eat, so you have to keep going, their true Haribo spirit will emerge.

I am very obsessed with them.

I wrote a novel, in fact, in one of my novels, which is my big attempt to write an American kind of literary novel called The Death of Eli Gold, which came out in 2010, I think.

There's a seven-page disquisition eulogy about sour sweets.

I am obsessed with sour sweets.

I'm never happier, really, than when I get a sort of very, very sour sweet in my mouth.
